Cape May Travel Guide

Situated at the southern-most tip of the New Jersey Cape, the
holiday favourite of Cape May is the jewel of the Atlantic Shore
and the nation's oldest seaside resort, known for its calm beaches,
historic sites and many nearby natural attractions that contrast
with the flashier Atlantic City.

With a fairytale collection of authentically restored and
beautifully preserved Victorian homes, the entire town of Cape May
was designated a National Historic Landmark and is internationally
recognised as one of the best Bed and Breakfast Inn resorts in the
country. The ambience of gingerbread-trimmed inns, old gas lamps
and colourful stained glass windows offers visitors a peaceful
change of pace from most other holiday resorts along the shore.

Bird watchers are drawn on holiday to the Cape May Point State
Park that attracts huge flocks of birds during the spring and
autumn migrations. Cape May offers modern as well as historic
accommodations, fine dining and shopping, and lots of nature walks,
and its easy-going atmosphere is apparent even at the height of the
summer holiday season.
